How to inject insulin with one hand

Good morning,

I am going to have surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, and I don't know what mobility I will have with my hand after the operation.

Could someone give me some advice on how to inject insulin from a pen with one hand?(Put the needle, the units...).

I accept suggestions!

Thank you!

You said it, put a needle, units and then stick it into the skin, hit the plunger and that's it!!that easy

I have sometimes managed to crush my arm (making a kind of pinch) with the frame of a door.Then, with my free hand, I click normally.It's a bit convoluted, but it's the only way I could think of 😅

Can you use it with two hands?!!!

I always only use one hand, except threading the needle.But to thread, ask for help if you don't live alone.

Try placing the insulin pen on a stable surface like a table, use your non-surgical hand to pull up the pen cap and set the dose

I always put it on with one hand, on my leg.

I believe that, if you hold the pen between your knees, you can now manage to change the needle and mark units.

And pricking is already easy if you use short needles that do not require pinching.

It is always applied with one hand...you don't have to pinch it, it is subcutaneous, you put the dose, stick it almost perpendicular and that's it.
